The Booking.com app is most useful when you're building a shortlist. Instead of setting filters on a search page, you describe the stay in one message (dates, number of guests, the neighborhood, "pet-friendly", "near the station") and narrow the results with follow-up questions. It suits people who already book with Booking.com and want ChatGPT to do the first pass before they compare details on the site.
It covers more than the room. Since May 2026 you can ask for a rental car in the same conversation, and you can look for attractions and tours at your destination. Flights aren't part of it. It's also separate from the AI Trip Planner inside Booking.com's own app.
From the publisher
Booking.com's app lets you explore hotels, homes, rental cars and attractions directly in ChatGPT. Results link out via "View on Booking.com" to complete the booking. Booking.com was one of the DevDay 2025 launch partners.
What you need
- A ChatGPT account, signed in. Booking.com was one of seven pilot partners when OpenAI launched apps on October 6, 2025, on the Free, Go, Plus and Pro plans. A paid plan isn't required.
- A supported region. Apps weren't offered in the European Economic Area, Switzerland or the UK at launch. Booking.com's May 2026 announcement describes the app as available to ChatGPT users globally.
- To install it. In the Plugin Directory (Settings > Plugins), find Booking.com, select Install plugin, then start a new chat and mention Booking.com or pick it with
@. See how to install plugins in ChatGPT. - Admin approval in a work account. In Business, Enterprise and Edu workspaces, admins decide which apps members can use.
Good to know
- You book on Booking.com, not in ChatGPT. Results have a "View on Booking.com" button that opens the property, car or attraction on Booking.com, where you complete the reservation.
- Check the final page before paying. Treat the chat results as a shortlist, and confirm the total price, taxes, cancellation terms and rental conditions on Booking.com.
- Your chats can be shared with the app. Once connected, ChatGPT may pass relevant context to Booking.com (see the last question below).
How to use
- 1Add it in ChatGPT
Open Booking.com in ChatGPT's Plugin directory (button above), select + to add it and sign in if asked.
- 2Use it in a chat
Type @ in the composer and pick Booking.com, or start your message with its name. ChatGPT may also suggest it when it fits what you ask.
Things to ask
- “Booking.com, top hotels in Miami Beach”
- “Booking.com, car rental in Amsterdam Oost”
- “Booking.com, search for things to do in Amsterdam”
- “Booking.com, find a pet-friendly apartment in Lisbon for 4 nights”
Disconnect
- 1Disconnect it in ChatGPT
Open Settings, then Apps or Plugins (the label depends on your rollout), select Booking.com and choose Disconnect. ChatGPT stops acting through your account; past conversations aren't deleted.
Booking.com: common questions
- Is the Booking.com ChatGPT app free?
Yes. OpenAI launched apps for logged-in users on its Free, Go, Plus and Pro plans, and Booking.com was a launch partner, so you don't need a paid plan. Neither company mentions a fee for connecting the app. You pay Booking.com's price for whatever you book on its site, and app use can count toward your ChatGPT plan's usage limits.
- Can ChatGPT book a hotel on Booking.com for me?
No. The app searches Booking.com and shows options inside the chat, but the reservation happens on Booking.com. When you pick a stay, rental car or attraction, select "View on Booking.com" to open it there and complete the booking. That's also the place to check the final price and cancellation policy before you pay.
- Can I find rental cars and things to do, not just hotels?
Yes. Booking.com added rental car search to its ChatGPT app in May 2026: describe the car and location you want, browse the options in the chat, then finish the reservation on Booking.com. The directory listing also covers attractions and experiences. Flights aren't mentioned in the listing or in Booking.com's announcements.
- Why can't I find Booking.com in ChatGPT?
OpenAI says app availability depends on the app, your ChatGPT plan, region, workspace, role and the interface you use. In a company workspace, an admin may have turned it off. On a personal account, search the Plugin Directory for the exact name while signed in. Very old versions of the ChatGPT mobile app show Apps instead of Plugins.
- What does Booking.com see when I connect it?
When connected, ChatGPT may pass along relevant parts of the conversation, and memories if Memory is on, so the app understands your request. Apps can also see basic details such as your IP address, device type, language and approximate location. Booking.com handles that data under its own terms and privacy policy. You can disconnect it from Settings > Plugins.
